PTK - 6/30/07

So... randomly I went to PTK with a friend this weekend. I was surprised how busy it was. PTK is Pontiac airport, probably the largest General aviation only airport in Michigan. Lots of business jets! I also got to fly an interesting airplane, but that is for another thread.

Unfortunately, for most shots, I forgot to get my camera out of ISO 800... :(

Here are a few shots:










Plane I got to fly, more details on that later:

Approach to 09R, 6200 x 150

The Jetstream 41 is sweet!! (if that's what the last picture is!! :lol: ) One of my favorite planes that!

[Iberia A340-600]

Very nice shots there, Matt. Your camera did very well with the high ISO in terms of not much grain!

Do you have side shot of that J41?

[nwafan20]

Its not very good, taken out of our dirty window while taxing and cropped a bit, and at ISO 800 ;)

Did you happen to see this A319 there? Its owned by Daimler Chrysler and flies about every other day to and from EDDS.

Yeah, I know about the DC A319, it wasn't there. They did build a one gate terminal there for it, its pretty strange. I have pictures of it if you would like.

EDIT: actually, found it on Google Earth, with the 319 attached!
